Fact or Fiction: Acts of Kindness are good for your healthFact.According to the Mayo Clinic, a leader in healthcare, acts of kindness aren’t just good for the soul, they are good for the body too. When we participate in acts of kindness our body releases oxytocin, a hormone that helps regulate our social and emotional response. The more oxytocin released, the more generous, kind and peaceful you are likely to feel. In addition, higher amounts of oxytocin is associated with less stress and better sleep. The best part? It is so easy for each of us to participate in acts of kindness. Here are a few ways to get that oxytocin boost and still follow social distancing guidelines:

Are you picking up dinner at a local drive thru? If you have the extra cash, pick up the tab for the person pulling up behind you.

Did you run to the grocery store to pick up some rolls of toilet paper or get the last few boxes of tissues? Leave your “extras” on a neighbor’s doorstep or in a mailbox.

Get your kids involved in acts of kindness and create springtime version of Secret Santa by leaving small arts and crafts or drawings for random people in your community.

Everyone will smile a little more and sleep a little better, with a bit more kindness in the world. FOR RELEASE:April 5, 2020

​VOLUNTEER OF THE YEARJAMES CALVERT

iPictured from left to right Chamber President Penny Clift, James Calvert & Cindy Malson​​I would like to nominate James Calvert for Volunteer of the Year. James is a board member of the Historic Roger Mills Preservation and Development, the Cheyenne Education Foundation, The Cheyenne-Strong City Alumni Association and if he's not currently on the Friends of the Rook Theatre , Board, he's very involved in its development. James is not the out front face of any of these boards but he is the technological backbone of all of them. The time and mental effort that James puts forth on his computer is actually pretty astonishing, which includes writing and editing the procedures manual for the Education Foundation, Writing and editing the Alumni mailing list, as well as promoting the numerous boards, their activities and the communities they represent, on social print media. The success that these organizations have achieved in recent years is due equally to hands-on manpower and the tech based power of computers and James is mighty in both.This is why I think James should be recognized as Volunteer of the Year.Sincerely, Cindy MalsonI would like to add that James is also on the Roger Mills County Board of Health and The Board of Trustees at the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence.

Volunteer of the Year Elma Clift

The Cheyenne Roger Mills Chamber of Commerce held their annual Volunteer of the Year lunch on Thursday, June 8th. This year's winner is Elma Clift.

The luncheon was attended by Elma's granddaughters, Brittany and Allie Clift as well as chamber members. . Guests enjoyed a delicious lunch catered by Christy Batchelor.

The chamber salutes Elma for her dedicated volunteer service over the years.​Here is the letter.​Elma is 81 years young and still going strong. Every spring finds her at the Chamber office stuffing Easter Eggs for the Annual Chamber Easter Egg Hunt. She often walks the 5 blocks from her house to the Chamber office.Stuffing Easter eggs might not sound like a hard job but believe me it is a big task. The event has hundreds of prizes which have to be stuffed inside the eggs. Cindy makes the coupons and Elma stuffs them inside the eggs. The whole process takes several days and involves thousands of eggs. Elma also volunteers her time every year at the Chamber Craft Show. She helps clean the kitchen during the set up. She comes at 8:00 a.m. on the day of the show and gets things ready in the concession stand. She works in the concession stand all day and then helps clean up afterward. This is amazing at her age. There have been times when the concession serves Sloppy Joes. Elma made the sloppy joes. This is a big order! Twenty pounds of hamburger turned into a delicious sloppy joe mixture. Elma has also helped at the Flea Market in the summer. She has volunteered her time at the library and the Senior Citizens Center. Elma has given selflessly of her time for years with no recognition. I think she has waited long enough! Please consider her for Volunteer of the Year.

There will be a concession serving hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, baked potatoes, soup and desserts. Takeout is available upon request. Come have a great lunch after shopping.

Door prizes will be given. Come and play Christmas Trivia to win a gift certificate from one of our businesses. There will also be a Kid's Trivia Game for prizes! Come and test your Christmas knowledge and win a prize!

Santa will also be making a trip from the North Pole. He will arrive at 2:30 and stay until every child has given him their wish list. Santa will be handing out treats to good boys and girls.
